“While the body is being burnt, he experiences a great burning; also while it is being beaten, and while it is being divided into pieces, terrible agony. While the body is being wetted a living being endures a very long pain, even while it is inhabiting another body, through the consequences of its own acts. There the deceased feeds on the water that his relatives offer together with the sesamum seed and the cake that they offer. The anointing with oil by relations, and the kneading of the limbs that they perform,—a living being is nourished thereby, and by what his relations[7] eat. A living being does not encounter excessive affliction on the earth through his deceased relatives; and so when dead he is nourished by his relatives who make gifts.
